A dull thwak was followed by horrible screams this morning.
While Aiden, was practicing his swing with a metal bat, Micah, obviously needing some practice, too, skateboarded right into him.
After a moment in triage (um, that would be administering an ice pack my kitchen) I admonished Micah, 5, not to skateboard towards people, especially those who are wielding baseball bats; to be responsible. He had no right to blame Aiden for the black eye.
I admonished Aiden, 6, that, if he is to be swinging a baseball bat, he must look out for other people and do everything in his power to stop the swing instead of hitting them full-force. Sometimes there are ways to lessen harm to others in the midst of an accident.
Poor little guy! Glad he wasn’t hurt worse. Oh the colors that eye will be…ouchie.

oooh! That smarts! But what an awesome story that will be, I’m sure! ;)

Oh my gosh, this is SO my kids!
A few years ago, my oldest popped my youngest in the mouth with an aluminum bat. We kept telling him to back up (playing baseball).
